 1 Protections
Axor digital drives are equipped with a series of protections which safeguard both the drive and the
motor in case of malfunctions.

There are three kinds of protection: reversible, resettable and irreversible.

Reversible protection intervention

It compares in presence of alarms which “reset itself” when the cause that has determined interven-
tion is no longer present.
This causes the block of the drive. To restore the correct functioning it is necessary to:
1) disable the drive (using the “Disable” icon or the DGT-IN1 input);
2) eliminate the cause that has determined intervention;
3) enable the drive (using the “Enable” icon or the DGT-IN1 input).

Resettable protection intervention

It compares in presence of alarms which “can be reset” using the “Reset Fault” function.
This causes the block of the drive. To restore the correct functioning it is necessary to:
1) disable the drive (using the “Disable” icon or the DGT-IN1 input);
2) reset the alarm using the “Reset Fault” function;
3) enable the drive (using the “Enable” icon or the DGT-IN1 input).

Irreversible protection intervention

It compares in presence of alarms which "cannot be reset”.
This causes the disabling of the drive. To restore the correct functioning it is necessary to:
1) Disconnect the power (main power supply and auxiliary power supply);
2) eliminate the cause of the block;
3) power again.
N.B. Before powering again wait a short while until the drive is securely switched off.

Note: In some cases (Alarm 6, Alarm 10, 24 UP) the drive is not disable and the control visualises
only a message without change the system’s functioning.

Eventual functioning errors are visualized on the drive's display, besides they can be controlled by
using Speeder One interface.

Speeder One interface allows you to control the history of the drive’s alarms and the status of them,
by openig "Alarm" window:

There are not active alarms There are active alarms

Clicking on Empty/Present button "Alarms" window opens:

A red dot
and the red symbol
near the alarm name indicate that the alarm is currently on, while
a red checkmark signifies that the alarm has been resolved.
It is possible to reset the history of the alarms by disabling and enabling the drive or clicking on
“Reset Historic Alarms”.

Enclosure to Service Manual Alarms Manual ver.1 rev.06/'07 7

 4 Reset Fault Function
The "Reset Fault" function, that can be set on one of the programmable digital inputs in the Digital
I/O window, allows you to reset all resettable alarms.

The resettable alarms are the following:

• AL3: Drive's temperature;

• AL4: Hall;
• AL5: Encoder;
• AL7: Motor's temperature;
• AL8: Regenerative Resistance;
• AL14: Following Error.

When a resettable alarm occurs the motor is blocked; to restore the correct functioning it is necessary
to:

1) disable the drive (using the "Disable" icon and/or DGT-IN1 input);

2) eliminate the cause that has determined intervention;

3) reset the alarm by setting the "Reset Fault" function in one of the available programmable dig-
ital inputs and applying a high logic signal to this input (see note below);

4) enable the drive (using the "Enable" icon and/or DGT-IN1 input).

Note: It is possible to apply a high logic signal to the input in two modes:

- utilising the Speeder One interface: clicking on the button near the name of the digital input
which will then show red on the “St” led.

- hardware: by applying the corresponding voltage on the connector pins. This will cause leds “St”
and “Hw” to show red.

 6 Stop due an alarm
In the following pages we illustrate the behaviour of the system in reference to these settings:

 automatic or manual management of the stationary brake;

 emergency stop.

We remember that:

• For the manual management of the brake it is necessary to set the "With" option in the "Hold-
ing Brake" box in the "Motor" window, then it is necessary to select the "Brake" function on one
of the programmable digital inputs.

• For the automatic management of the brake it is only necessary to set the "With" option in the
"Holding Brake" box in the "Motor" window (Attention: Do Not select the "Brake" function on one
of the programmable digital inputs).

• For the no management of the brake by drive

it is necessary to set the "Without" option in the
"Holding Brake" box in the "Motor" window.

• For the emergency stop function it is nec-

essary to set the dedicated flag in the "General
Set" window, and to set the "Emer. Ramp"
parameter [in ms] in the "Speed" window.
Note: In the operative mode "7:CAN open"
the "Emer.Ramp" parameter is set via
CanBus.

The dangerous alarms, which cause the immediately insertion of the brake, are the followings:
- Al2: Over Current;
- Al4: Hall;
- Al5: Encoder;
- Al9: Max/Min Voltage;
- Al12: Resolver;
- Al14: Following Error;
- Al17: Over Current Brake.

All others alarms stop the system by using the emergency ramp before the brake's insertion.
